Attendance & workloads
| You are expected to be present in the University on weekdays during semester, including during any reading weeks and the assessment periods at the end of each semester. The University expects you to work for about 36 - 40 hours per week (classes, assignments, and private study) shared between the modules you are taking. You must attend all practicals, tutorials, seminars, and term-time fieldtrips except in event of illness or for other good reasons notified in advance to the tutor/lecturer concerned. Persistent absence is recorded in students’ files and may be reported to the relevant Faculty. Submission of coursework for assessment is also compulsory (see section on Assessment), and attendance at examinations is compulsory – failure to attend could result in disciplinary action as laid out in University regulations. You are strongly advised to go to all lectures since they set out the conceptual and/or technical framework for the rest of your work on the module concerned. If you cannot attend a lecture be sure to borrow a friend’s notes and access any related material on MOLE. |
